====== Hidden Links ======

Hidden links are invisible links used to detect bot traffic from traders. A hidden link is invisible to real visitors but appears like a normal link to bots that can't interpret CSS visibility rules.

Example:

  <div style="position:absolute; left:0px; top:0px; width:50px; height:20px; z-index:1; visibility: hidden">
  <a href="/out.php?link=bla-bla">Enter</A></div>

To use hidden links for bot detection:

1. Add hidden link identifiers to [[AutoAnticheat]] as a comma-separated list (e.g., hidlink1,hidlink2)
2. Enable the Hidden Links column in Settings > Layouts
3. The Trade admin screen will now show which traders have clicks on hidden links

If a trader registers clicks on hidden links, it suggests bot traffic. While a few clicks may be coincidental, multiple clicks warrant closer investigation.
